MARABELLA, Trinidad (AP)—The New York Red Bulls got second-half goals from Ernst Oebster and Alfredo Pacheco and earned a 2-2 with W Connection in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League preliminary round on Thursday night.

Jonathan Fana gave Connection of Trinidad a 1-0 lead in the 40th minute, but New York rallied behind goals by Oebster in the 47th minute and Pacheco in the 59th to go up 2-1.

Hughtun Hector tied it in the 71st minute to give Connection hope for the second leg on Wednesday.

In other games Thursday, Javier Orozco’s hat trick helped Cruz Azul of Mexico earn a 6-2 road victory over Costa Rican club Herediano, and Honduran club Olimpia rallied to beat Arabe Unido of Panama 2-1 at home.

I sort of felt that Heredia was going to lose to Cruz Azul but I never imagined it was going to be that bad. It's freaking embarrassing...:mad:

This reminds me of Alajuela losing 0-4 to Colo-Colo at home in their first game of the Copa Sudamericana a few years ago; although this is even worse.

[MoRado]

yes, same feeling here, what a shame
they fired Macho Mora already, poor guy, he sucks and his teams suck

[M3gatron]

DC is going to gget knocked out by FIRPO!!!!! LMAO.

[nfiniti]

dc will get ousted by Firpo
redbulls will get ousted by W Connection (they shouldn't, but they will)
Toronto will get ousted by Islanders (mark my words)
Heredia goes bye bye
Liberia Mia goes bye bye
San Juan Jabloteh goes bye bye

i'm not sure about arabe unido - olimpia , it's a toss up..

[Dynamic]

MEXICO CITY (AP)—DC United, Los Islanders of Puerto Rico and Mexican club Pachuca advanced Tuesday to the group stage of the CONCACAF Champions League.

DC United claimed its place by winning 5-4 on penalties at El Salvador’s Firpo after the match was tied at 1-1 through regulation and extra time. Christian Gomez scored the equalizer for the MLS team in the 42nd minute.

The match last week was a 1-1 draw in Washington.

Los Islanders played to a scoreless draw in Puerto Rico against MLS club Toronto FC. The Puerto Rican side won the first leg 1-0 last week to advance on aggregate goals over two matches.

Los Islanders finished the match with 10 men after Kendall Jagdeosiingh was sent off in the 88th minute.

Pachuca beat Jalapa of Guatemala 7-1 to advance 10-1 on aggregate after Ulises Mendivil scored three goals in the match at Guatemala. Mario Pineyro converted a penalty for Jalapa’s only goal.
